This is a Python 3 programming tutorial for beginners. If you have never

programmed before click [here](basics/what-is-programming.md) to find

out what programming is like and get started.

This tutorial is aimed at people with no programming experience at all

or very little programming experience. If you have programmed a lot in

the past using some other language you may want to read [the official

tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/) instead.

You can use Python 3.2 or any newer Python with this tutorial. Don't use

Python 2. If you write a Python 2 program now someone will need to port

it to Python 3 later, so it's best to just write Python 3 to begin with.

Python 3 code will work just fine in Python 4, so you don't need to

worry about that.
